MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 92 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 92 ft, 47 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,209 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,209 m of the 3,160 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 717 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 09 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,130 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 90 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport, Arusha, in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,926 feet above sea level to 30,979 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,053 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles south of HTSE Same Airport, Same, in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 21 miles northwest of HTPA Mkwaja Airport, Pangani, in the Tanga Region of Tanzania. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,937 feet above sea level to 1,406 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,532 feet.
The final approach to runway 05 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 3,160 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 55 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,138 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 251 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 7,009 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 310 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,138 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-controlled approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and distance from the touchdown zone.
